The Needs 81 the EmerRency Hospital.
To the Editor Of TIE EVENING STAR:
Cannot you speak a word for the Emergency
Hospital7 1t is In want Of funds TO carry on its
work. 1t is being pressed to its utmost by poor,
but worthy sufferers who all receive attention
and medicines, without money or without price.
1t Is one OF its fundamental rules that no matter
how well on the person may be, who is stricken
down by sudden illness or accident on the streets
OF the city, no charge must be made. 1t plays the
part OF the "GOOd Samaritan" for our citizens,
literally knowing neither Protestant or Catholic,
rich nor poor, Jew nor GENTLE, but its doors stand
open day and night to the suffering. How would
1t do TO give the Surplus OF the shepherd fund.- and
the Medical Convention fund to this deserving
chartty-it needs help and needs it now? Several
new instruments are needed to enectually carry
on It's work, and funds for the purchase Of medi-
clneS. &c. Yours truly, j. G. j.
